The family of 10-year-old self-proclaimed spiritual orator Abhinav Arora has filed a complaint claiming to have received a death threat from the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. Abhinav's Mother Jyoti Arora said she is being constantly threatened by the gang through phone calls.
"We received a message from the Lawrence Bishnoi gang through a call today...Abhinav has been threatened with death. We got a call last night too but could not talk. Today again a call has come from the same number in which it is said that we will kill Abhinav," Jyoti told reporters on Monday.
In an exclusive chat with ABP News, Abhinav clarified the allegations of being fake. Recently a YouTube channel raised doubts about Arora's spiritual narrative claiming that Abhinav is a product of careful coaching by his father Tarun Raj Arora.
Abhinav said he went to court after YouTubers "created so much terror" and threatened to kill him. "I have come to the court against seven people. People are saying dirty things about me. No one is saying anything to them. Who doesn't learn from his father and mother? But let me make it clear that whatever I say in the podcast, I do it from the heart," he said.
Abhinav Arora claims to have embarked on his spiritual journey at the age of three, a path he attributes to a natural calling towards Hindu deities Shri Ram and Shri Krishna. He has around one million followers on Instagram, where he describes himself as India's youngest spiritual orator
When asked about a viral video in which he said he eats chicken, Abhiav told ABP News that he eats only satvic food. "The video that is being talked about is part of a poem which I sang. I don't even eat onion and garlic."
The Bishnoi gang is in the news after a gang member took responsibility for killing NCP leader Baba Siddiqui. According to some media reports, the Lawrence Bishnoi gang has its eyes on many Bollywood bigwigs. Many members of the Lawrence gang have been arrested in the case of Baba Siddiqui's murder.
On October 17, Mathura's Refinery Police and Delhi Police team arrested Lawrence Bishnoi and Hashim Baba Gang's sharpshooter in an encounter. The shooter was shot in the leg and many weapons were recovered from him.
